Yeah but look at the competition though
I don't know where you're from mate but retro game are in.
The mullet did come back in from around 2004-2007 from memory.

Retro Games are fantastic mate, pixelated art. A lot of people like myself prefer them over modern games because of the nostalgia that modern games simply can't produce. It's memories mate, good ones. If you got into EB games today, you will see the Atari, Mega Drive and SNES on sale. They have been re-released with a lot of games built in (the Mega Drive for instance, 85 games built in with 2 blue controllers) - that's right, they modernise the console making it a lot more compact, taking advantage of the great technology of today, then re-release them. Why not?
Mate that sounds like a brilliant story, well done to your mum for doing so much for you back then. I know you guys would've cherished that console. It's amazing that it still works today.

I remember back in 1989, we got a Sega Master System for Christmas. They were actually trying to get rid of the stock they had back then and my parents managed to snare one for $88 - which was a bargain (although the Mega Drives which were still fairly new back then were $150+ which was just too expensive).
What made the Master System great was that all my cousins and friends also had that great console, meaning we could swap games all the time and we'd often go to each other houses and crowd around the console and a small 34 inch CRT tv and swap the controllers based on a stages & lives round robin turn-for-turn system.
The best were coop games where you can play 2 players together. I remember Double Hawk which was a fun shooting game was made even better when you played co-op. Someone would lose all 3 hits, die, and re-spawn taking a life off the co-op player

Or what about Double Dragon on the Master System? Playing co-op with a mate, then getting to the end and fighting him for the girl.
You don't get that kind of stuff in games these days.
Good times.
Correct. I love the 8-bit platform, by far my favorite. Sonic the Hedgehog really pushed the limits as to what the system can do and how!
That looks beautiful. Man what an awesome console. That brings back memories of the late 90s early 00s.
